Green Passport – As it Was
 IMO Resolution A.962(23), IMO Guidelines on Ship
Recycling - Principles
• Ship recycling is generally the best option for “time-expired”
tonnage
• Multiple stakeholders contributing to the health, safety and
environmental protection of the ship recyclers and their
surroundings
• Shipowners are a primary stakeholder and have a
responsibility to address the issues involved
• The Green Passport facilitates application of the Guidelines by
providing information on potentially hazardous materials on
board the ship, to the recycler

Green Passport – Shipowner
Obligations

 Ensure Part 1 is
originated by the builder  Three parts to the Green
Passport:
 Maintain Part 1 through
1. Inventory of potentially
refits/modifications over hazardous materials used in
life construction
2. Operationally Generated
 Complete Parts 2 & 3 Wastes
prior to the final voyage 3. Stores
to the recycling facility

5
Inventory Categories
 Part 1 – Potentially Hazardous Materials in the Ship’s
Structure and Equipment
• 1A – Asbestos
• 1B – Paint (on structure) Additives
• 1C – Plastic Materials
• 1D – Materials containing PCBs, PCTs, PBBs at levels >
50mg/kg
• 1E – Gases sealed in ship’s equipment or machinery
• 1F – Chemicals in ship’s equipment or machinery
• 1G – Other inherent substances (oils, resins, alcohol, etc.)

Inherent Commitments – through life
of vessel
 Green Passport must become a Controlled
Document
• Class Notation implies periodic audit to ensure
it’s up to date
• Regular M & R activities can impact – not just
major refits
• For changes to original outfit
• Potentially significant level of effort for vessel
technical staff and Compliance auditors

10
Commitments – Green Passport at
end of life

 Part 2 – Operationally
Generated Wastes
• 2A – Dry Tank Residues
• 2B – Bulk (non-oily)
• 2C – Oily Waste/Residues
 Part 3 – Stores
 Parts 2 and 3 of the • 3A – Gases
Passport to be • 3B – Chemicals
completed by the • 3C – Other Packaged
Owner Items

• Not onerous – on
board survey by crew
11
IHM – the next step
 Resolution MEPC  Per Green Passport, 3 part
197(62), 2011 document
Guidelines for the  More detailed Part 1
Development of the  Visual and sampling checking
of materials
Inventory of Hazardous
 Part 1 for existing ships to be
Materials compiled by HazMat Expert
• Updates/Supersedes  Designated document owner
MEPC 179(59) which ashore or on board to
introduced IHM in 2009 maintain IHM
• Updates not necessary if
identical parts/coatings
replace initial supply

12
IHM Example – MEPC 197(62)

13
Atlantic Towing – next new builds
 Damen “E3” Design
• Environmentally Friendly,
Efficient in Operation,
Economically Viable
 DNV “Recyclable” notation
• Supersedes previous “GREEN
PASSPORT” notation
• Implements MEPC. 197(62)
• Compulsory for “Clean
Design” notation
• Adds requirement for a
Maintenance Manual
(procedures) and surveys
• Green Passport was
documentation review only

14
Existing Vessels
 IHM required for disposal
• Wait until end of life?
• Easiest – no maintenance
• Difficult to get backup data  EU Ship Recycling Regulation
from vendors, shipyards • Entered into force 2013
• Non-EU flagged vessels
 Avoid the rush for HazMat >500GT will require a verified
experts IHM by end 2020
• 2 extra chemicals to be
 Be prepared for regional inventoried relative to IMO
actions requirements
• Upcoming European rule • Found mostly in fire retardant
constituents of flooring, cable
as an example - do we sheaths, AFFF, gaskets, seals,
need it earlier? etc.
 Be a leader?

15
Summary
 IHM must have an impact on new build costs
• Major supply chain effort
 Maintenance of IHM/Green Passport will be a
significant effort and tracking challenge
• Few suppliers are accustomed to providing supporting
documentation, particularly distributors/agents
 There will be a major effort to build IHM for existing
vessels, now or later
• Must recognize this requirement when planning for disposals,
if, as Owners, we want to be responsible recyclers.
